MEET YOUR SPECIALIST

Dr. Snehal Thamke

Psychiatrist — Women’s Mental Health & Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
ABOUT YOUR DOCTOR

Treatment that starts with understanding the person.

I am a psychiatrist with a special interest in women’s mental health and child and adolescent psychiatry. My work involves helping individuals navigate a wide range of emotional, behavioural and psychiatric concerns at different stages of life. To me, psychiatry is not simply about diagnosing an illness or prescribing medication — it is about understanding the person, their experiences, relationships and circumstances, and how these shape their mental well-being.
My approach begins with listening without judgement and understanding each patient’s concerns, symptoms and individual needs. I believe that seeking mental health support should never be associated with shame or stigma. I aim to create a space where patients feel comfortable speaking openly, understand what they are experiencing, and actively participate in decisions about their treatment.
With close to a decade of experience after completing my MD in Psychiatry, my clinical practice includes the assessment and management of mood disorders, anxiety, OCD, stress-related difficulties, sleep concerns, addiction-related problems and other psychiatric conditions. I have a particular interest in women’s mental health and child and adolescent psychiatry, with an emphasis on personalised, evidence-based care that treats the person, not just the diagnosis.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Common questions about psychology & counselling.

What is the difference between a psychologist and a psychiatrist?

While both treat mental health issues, a psychiatrist is a medical doctor who primarily diagnoses conditions and prescribes medication. A clinical psychologist focuses extensively on psychotherapy (talk therapy), behavioral interventions, and psychological testing to help you cope with emotional challenges.

How long does a typical counselling session last?

Most individual counselling and CBT sessions last between 45 to 60 minutes. Family or couples therapy sessions may occasionally be scheduled for slightly longer durations to ensure all parties have adequate time to communicate.

Will everything I share remain confidential?

Yes. We adhere to strict professional and legal standards of confidentiality. Your personal stories, thoughts, and psychological records are kept entirely private, barring rare legal exceptions where there is a clear, immediate risk of harm to yourself or others.

How do I know if Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is right for me?

CBT is highly effective for a wide range of issues, particularly anxiety, depression, and stress management. During your initial psychological assessment, our therapist will evaluate your specific symptoms and goals to determine if the structured approach of CBT is the best fit for your healing journey.

When should we consider relationship or family counselling?

It is beneficial to seek relationship counselling when communication constantly breaks down, conflicts become repetitive and unresolved, or a major transition (like grief, a new baby, or career change) is straining the family dynamic. Early intervention often yields the best outcomes.

Best orthopaedic surgeon in Ghatkopar. Had referred one of my relatives to Dr. Neeraj and definitely he’s the best knee replacement surgeon in town.
